Did i make it??? Oh well. Thats nice that the original post make u less grumpy. - otilegna 2006.2 #65 12:29PM

Also this has changed a bit. "Gold" is now called "yellow" and there's a "green" viewing area now. The RiverBelle Terrace patio is also viewing for those dining packages. - IDVandalSkipperCM

How do you get to sit in the RiverBelle Terrace viewing area with a package? Which one? I'm assuming you get a seat. - TinkerSchelle 1430.3 #98 1:52PM

So glad to see this, and at the same time, sad to see it. We've watched the late show from the bridge every year for as long as it's been showing. Now I'm not loving the idea of having to deal with getting the FP's...just won't be the same. - msdizmaui

I would take Mickeyat78 or missariel33 or lotusflow3r or SpiritofAdventure or lohofosho - whoever could go with me! Thanks so much for an incredible RAK! - HiddenMickeyFanatic

That Stitch pin is so cute. I also need to get the Mickey ticket pin. Are the hotel ones going to be only available in the hotels, or will you be able to get them in the parks? I had forgot to check that when I was looking at the site. - Lelundrial

I can't speak for there specific pins but I have seen grand Californian pins in the Empirium do my guess is they will be available everywhere - missmimi90 1711.0 #81 1:16PM

Ok, I will check the Emporium upon arrival. Of course I have to hope they will still have some by then. - Lelundrial 507.0 #373 1:38PM

Not sure if I speak for other MWers, but personally I'd like to know how many and which of our fellow MW family serve in any capacity. Medical, military, law enforcement, or firefighter. Role call...time to sound off.

Hey Doc, I think you and many other MWers know what my wife and I do... My wife is an acute care nurse practitioner specializing in cardiology as well as an associate professor for UCSF's masters of nursing program. That right, I married one incredibly smart and caring person. As for me, I am a career naval officer with 23+ years of active duty having spent 19 of those years serving with explosive ordnance disposal mobile units. I am medically retiring out this year after losing my ulna nerve in my right arm in addition to having the arm dislocated, rotator cuff torn, shoulder impingement, dislocated rib, 1 compressed vertebrae and 1 herniated disc due to an IED encounter. I'm doing much better after my last procedure which almost a year ago...thank you all who supported me when I did the Tough Mudder last month and I am running Sausalito's Save the Seals run tomorrow, as well as Pleasanton's Tri for Real triathlon and Half Moon Bay's Splash and Dash in September! - BombFrogFormerCM

Thank you for you and your wife's service to so many! - DreadPiratesRogers 844.5 #190 8:47PM

BF, you are a walking miracle!! Totally my hero!!!
My son's GF is also a RN...she is going to start the NP program here in the next month in Sonoma. I love the medical field! My next daughter is supposed to start at an assisted living residence here in the next couple of weeks in their restaurant. She is considering becoming a CNA. - 2BeignetOrNot2Beignet 1094.5 #144 8:51PM

It was a little weird but I showed HMACIF my surgery and shrapnel scars on my arm and that I cannot fully extend it when we met up on Maui...it's too hot to wear long sleeves and I'm becoming less self conscience about it thanks to my wife and minis! - BombFrogFormerCM 818.4 #197 8:57PM

Wear your scars proudly! I for one thank you for all that you did to suffer them for us - DisneyDavidEMT 1977.1 #67 8:59PM

Thanks Doc. I would walk thru far worse to be there for Jack...he is my little hero! - BombFrogFormerCM 818.4 #197 9:06PM

Your scars are your badges of courage! It brings tears to my eyes to think of the struggles that your family has had to go through to protect us! I'm proud to call you a friend! - 2BeignetOrNot2Beignet 1094.5 #144 9:06PM

I thank god for this special woman who married me! Since we were married she has dealt with a total of 2 tours in Iraq, 2 tours in Afghanistan, 1 WestPac cruise and my being sent on SAR (search and rescue) duty right after Hurricane Katrina--riding out Huricane Rita. I was not with her when Jack was diagnosed with high functioning autism and I can't imagine how hard that was to find out about while I was deployed, because she was concerned about me concentrating on my duty she didn't tell me until I was done with that tour and heading stateside. - BombFrogFormerCM 818.4 #197 9:24PM

Isn't it crazy that out of all the people in the world we have been fortunate enough to find someone that gets us through thick and thin... Support in times of health crisis, even though they may be going through something too, they always put us first. I think that's why my marriage is so special... My husband and I always put the other one first... I don't want to say like a competition, but for lack of a better word ill go with it😊
I love that your wife is a healing force in your familie's life... The children are truly blessed to have such loving and positive role models in their lives. - 2BeignetOrNot2Beignet 1094.5 #144 12:09AM

Thank you for your service. My brother is in the Navy!! - Arielkitten13 145.8 #2670 1:58PM

✨#RAK✨Update: ends tomorrow!! I've had a rough week so I thought I'd share a little piece of my amazing spontaneous trip to Club 33 a few weeks ago. Picking up these extra little mementos and sharing a once in a lifetime opportunity with good friends is something I'll never forget! There are 2 pens, a drink stirrer, one of the famous light up Tinkerbelles and even some chocolate (which I'm hop More...

Awwwww, feel bad about the chocolate. Please add me for dear Miss Avid in hopes she can get another and as for my bucket list item, I would have to say spending a night in the Dream suite. - ribidib 1177.5 #125 8:15AM

Any guy who would let chocolate melt (much less, Disney chocolate! And Club 33 at that!) deserves to be an ex! - MeridaFan 3507.1 #32 10:00AM

**Castle photo tips** Here is the setting CM Jim told us to use for night photos in front of the castle (as explained in my previous post). This is on our Canon DSLR, on Manual. I am a level 0 photographer, so I was grateful for the tip! It worked great for us, but maybe others would tweak it a bit. He said that this is best because they project blue on the castle....something like that 😄

Ummm..... I am not sure what any of that means but.....I think it is awesome that you know and that you would share it here. - JungleBum

10 Things to do in the Rain at Disneyland (Sponsored by the Hojo Anaheim). Check it out and share it with your Facebook and Twitter friends! http://bit.ly/RHbu9I

Also don't forget that on rainy days, instead of Jedi Training Academy, they have a meet and greet with Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, Darth Maul, and Jedi's. This is my #1 reason why I love Disneyland during the rain. 😍 - StarWarsLove
403.2 #503 5:11PM

@rserrano1234 Yes, same spot as Jedi Tranning but the line starts in the walk way from where all the characters come out from. Make sure you are there at least 10 mins early because they cut off the line pretty early. You are welcome Admin and thank you guys! 😁 - StarWarsLove 403.2 #503 3:53PM

Woah! No way! Awesome! Another reason I ❤MW. I learn something new all the time 😊! Thanks! - MoonWillow 381.1 #538 4:01PM

We are planning a GardenWalk Bowling Alley meetup some time in February! I don't have all the details yet, but the GardenWalk is preparing something special for us. Let me know what day in February would be the best. If you would like to help plan this event let me know. This should be a fun pre-Reunion meetup, and afterwards we can head into the Park!

300 Anaheim has confirmed that Feb 17 works for them, I will be talking to them shortly to figure out a time, but I am thinking around 2-3pm. From what I've heard so far this is going to be A LOT of fun! - Admin
